The Presence of Pinkerton's Detectives In
the Coke Regions Liable to Cause Trouble.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, July 6.-The presence OF
Pinkerton's armed men in the coke regions has
caused intense excitement, and serious trouble
may follow. The strikers are indignant and
denounce the action of the operators in bring
ing the detectives into the regions in the loud

mously resolved to continue the strike. At
Jimtown, it is said, the men are weakening and
large number are expected to return to work
before the close of the week. William Mullen,
secretary of the Miners Association. in state
ment to the newspapers, says: THE men
quiet but determined, and the introduction of the
Pinkerton detectives into the coke region will be
the advent of a bitter feeling between employers
and employed that years will not eradicate.
The strikers will be counseed to keep within
the limits of the law, but the landing of Pinker-
toms agents has been the starting of riotne and of
bloodshed wherever they have been used There
may be some disturbance in the Conellsville coke
region, however. and come lives lost. The re-
sponsibilty will rest upon those who brought the
detectives" The detectives are in charge of

Captain Foley. Of Chicago They are not here

protect those WHIP desire to return to WORK
They will remain until the strike has been
broken.
This was the day set by the operators for a re-
sumption of work by those of their old employees
who had expressed themselves as willing to 60
back at the old rate of wages. The works gen
orally throughout the region were open to all
who desired to return. At number OF them

help but think, and, OF course. he can think only
of things that have come within the range of his
observation and reading. 1t is where these ara
limited that the danger is greatest. When not
at work the farmer has, as rule. quite lonely
time. His rigid notions OF morality prevent his
relieving his mind by those amusements which
all classes of city people indulge in-often TO
their own salvation. 1t is an old saving that all
work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" And
some OF the most wholesome city amusements
are not possible in the country.

TO good mental health. This is partly their OWE
fault All Iowa farmers might, without addi-
tional expense, live better than town people do.
They could have greater variety of better and
fresher vegetables. and Also if they Own theii
farms, of fruit Fresh beef might be too expen-

food they could easily raise they would need but
little meat of any kind, and their fat pork would
not hurt them. This variety would help them
in two ways. It would make meal-time happier
and more Of a relief from workaday dullness
and il would make them physically and mental
